Hello, my name is Isabella Meganheimer. Im a 27-yearold woman who lived in a house with a 23-year-old woman named Joan, who just graduated from college, and a 25-year-old sister named Cathy. I also have a 24year-old brother named Mac, who lived in his own house. But sometimes he hangs out with us at nights and at times when were hanging out. In an ordinary day, the sun is shining in my window. I was sleeping my bed with my blue blanket. I was wearing my underwear when I was sleeping. I slowly wake up. Im got off my bed and walked to my closet. I open the closet and saw a wardrobe of what to wear for the day. I picked up a pair of a blue button t-shirt and blue tight jeans. I also picked my brown comfy shoes. As I put them on over my underwear, I suddenly smell something coming out of the kitchen. Usually I come out there first and cooks for me and my sisters. But this time, since I smell something cooking out of the kitchen, I wonder if someone has come to our house. Maybe my big brother Mac, but I dont know. I finished dressed, get out of my room, and head downstairs to find out. I head to the kitchen and saw Joan, in her pajamas, cooking breakfast. She then looked at me.

Oh hello, she said. I suddenly feel quite akward when she said that. Surpirse, she nerviously asked as she shrug her shoulders. I dont know what Joan got intogetting up early andcooking breakfast when Im usually do at this time of the morning. I guess Joan is so excited that shes going to work with me at the Doctors Community Hospital; its a hospital near a few blocks away from house. I work as a nurse in a nearby hospital. I got that job just months after I graduated college at the age of 22. Since that, Joan was interesting in nursing. She wants to become a doctor too. And she was also interesting in working at the same hospital that I work. Joan, I said, slowly walking into the kitchen. What are you doing? Im cooking breakfast, she said. I looked at the pans that were on the stove. I saw that she was making two pleats of an amulet and two slices of toasted bread already cooked by her. I turned around to saw another round of two slices bread that were already on the toaster. I looked back at the plates. Which one is mine? I asked. Here, she grab one and gave it to me. Thank you, I said. I looked at her again. And which is one for yours? I asked.

She comes back to the stove and put oil on the empty frying pan. Mines coming up right now, she said. I slightly nodded at her work. Okay, I said. I then headed over at the living table. As sat down and started taking a bite of my breakfast, my other sister, Cathy, shows up after heading downstairs. Good mor-, Cathy stopped walking and looked at me eating breakfast. That scene made her a shock in the face as she raise her eyebrows and open her mouth wide. Before she could ask me why arent I cooking breakfast, Cathy suddenly turns around to see the reason why: Her sister Joan is cooking for us. She reached toward the kitchen and saw the other plate of an amulet and toasted bread. Is that one mine or yours? Cathy asked Joan, whos already cooking a third plate. This time is Joans. Its yours, Joan said as she heads for the toaster. Mines already cooking, she added. She push the button, the bread goes down into the toaster. Cathy takes the plate. Thank you, she said as she exits out of the restaurant. Youre welcome, Joan said.

Cathy was surprised that her little sister was cooking breakfast instead of me. She headed down to the living table when she join me. Wow, she said to me. Is she really cooking breakfast? Yeah, I answered. I didnt know Joan is cooking breakfast. Maybe she got up because todays her big day at the hospital. You mean her first day, she corrected me. I know. Then Joans toasted bread pop up from the toaster. She turned around and walked to take her toasted bread out of the toaster and put them on a plate. She then comes back to the stove where her amulet has already been cooked. She put the amulet in her plate with her toasted bread. She grab the plate and takes it to the living table

My 24-year-old brother Mac works in his office at the Silver Spring breue of the Washington Post. Hes already working on a story, when his co-worker, an AfricanAmerican man named Devon E.K. who stopped to see hows my brother doing. Hello there, Devon said, entering the office. Well hello there Devon, Mac said.

After they shake hands, Devon picks up a chair and sits beside his desk in front of him. So, he said. Hows the paperwork going? My paperwork is doing fine, Mac is still typing a story on his computer. Its a story hes working on recently. Its about a woman who didnt flie her paperwork because the energy company gave her too much money too pay. She asked the Washington Post to investigate. And the Washington Post asked my brother Mac to do the report as well as the interview. Devon comes in into my brothers office to see how things are doing before the final deadline. Im just finishing on an investigating story, Mac continued. The deadline for it is today. Well then good enough, Devon said, looking at the window. The window looked slightly dirty, although it may have been the sun from outside making the window look dusty. Mac finishing typed. There, he said. Devon looked at him. All done, Mac continued. He looked at Devon. Do you contact the power company yet? he asked. Yep I contacted, Devon said as he sits up and change his position to look at him straight. What did they say?

No comment. Mac took a deep breath. He looked at the computer. Well guess I have to put that in, he added as he typed additional information to the article: The power company has now comment. He lean back in his chair. Devon slightly got up and take a peak at the article. He looked at him, whos really disappointed. He sits back down. Unhappy huh, He asked. Mac looked at him. Yeah, he said as he sits up. I wish the power company should get a better response. He looked at him and the papers back and forth. But as usually, when companies like these when they were involved in investigations dont love to comment or return any calls. Devon nodded as he agreed with him. Then suddenly another co-worker takes a head in the officer. Hey..um..Mac, she said. Yep. Theres a phone call in line five. Okay thank you. The co-worker exits her head out of the office. Devon immediately got up from his seat and headed out for the door. Alright Devon, he said. See ya later, He then exits out of the office.

Mac picks up the telephone and touch line five. He put the phone on his right ear. That phone call was me. I called him to see if hes ready to eat lunch with me. He hangs out with me for lunch most of the time. But sometimes, whenever theres an incoming story unfolding or a story to finish near an early deadline, hes unavailable for the period. Hello, Mac answered the phone. Hey Mac are you busy? I asked. Nope, he said as he looked at the window while leaning back again. I just finished the story and Im printing it out now. Youre asking to have lunch with me? Yes, I said. I just got off from the doctors office. I was standing in the sidewalk behind the hospital with my smartphone in my right ear. Are you ready to come? I asked him. He jumped out of his chair. Yeah, he said. He took out a pen and writes a note on his notepad that was in his desk. Okay, I start heading out for my car which was packed in the hospital entrance office. Ill be there as soon as possible. Just stand in front of the building. He puts back the pan in the pen cup and looked at the side window. Okay Ill be there, he said. Okay.

We hang up the phone. I open the car door and get inside the vehicle. Me and my sister Joan drove that vehicle when we work at the same hospital. Since that, I thought she would be worry about me. I thought she would have no vehicle. I mean she has her car, but she decided to ride with me instead because it was her first day. I talk to Joan in her office about the situation. Once my sister understand the situation with my brother, she didnt mind. She didnt mind that I would leave her alone. At least she have her lunch so she can eat in the lunch area. Though, she might be worried that I still be driving too long, because there might have a growing number of patients and the boss in the hospital doesnt have time for doctors to fool around. Meanwhile, my brother Mac, who already have a suit on, is ready to have his investigation story to his boss, Mr. Alec Sands, who is the editor-in-chief of the Washington Post. Mr. Sands wants my brothers story to be published before the midnight deadline. Thats when newspapers will began printing through their factories and published through a series of newsstands. Mac and Mr. Sands hoped that this story will get the attention of the power company, who refused to respond. Oh hey, Mr. Sands said as Mac comes in into his office. You finish up the power company story.

Yes sir, Mac gives the paper that filled with words to him. Mr. Sands takes a look at the paper for a brief second. He slight nodded as he looked back at him. Alright Ill look at it, he said. Youre off at a lunch break? Yeah. Alright Ill let you go. Thanks, Mac exits out of the office, free to go. Mr. Sands opens the door and peeks his head. Hey Mac, he said. Yeah, Mac turn around. Dont stay too long. We have another story to fill. Okay. Mr. Sands loves Mac to go to lunch at his spare time, especially with me and my sisters, but he doesnt want my brother to spend too much time on lunch, because of the competition in the newspaper business. He already had a story for him: its about a customer who rectently brought a truck that was promoted as good as new, but instead it was a vehicle that was messed up. The customer was so angry that he wants a refund immediately from the car dealer, but the car dealer refused. Mr. Sands wants my brother Mac to be in this investigation immediately after lunch. That way Mac will

be in contact with the customer, since he was available before his favorite show comes on at 4. The customer doesnt have a VCR or a DVR recorder to record. Minutes later, Mac was standing in front of the building like I told him. I was driving on Elligton Street, where he was at. I almost made it. As I parked beside the entrance of the building, my brother hopped in into my vehicle. Hey Mac, I said. Hey sis, he said as he closes the left door. Immediately after that, I drove off again. I explain to him what my day has been so far, and he explain to me about the investigation story that he just send to the editor. I guess we have to talk into more of our personal stuff when we head down the to Silver Spring Restaurant down the corner. As we enter the shopping center at Silver Spring, I drove to the parking lot to where the Silver Spring Restaurant is. We parked in an empty space in front of the bushes. And as soon as that we get out of the viechle. We have been into fast food restaurants before like McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, among other things. But this is the first time since my mothers birthday that we have ever been into a causal restaurant. A place where you can sit down in a table, if its available, looking

down at the menu, order what you want, and then wait for your food to arrive. Its much different from a fast food one where you had to order in line and get in no time. We are now entering the Silver Spring Restuarnet. As we enter, the entrance was kindadark. It has a black bench on the left to sit on and a glass door on the right if theres a table available. Yes the entrance has a glass door to lighten it, but I think that he doesnt like the darkness. Before I turned around to looked at him, we walking toward the male waiter, whos writing some stuff on his notpad in pen. He looked as he sees us walking. Hello, the male waiter greets with a smile. Welcome to the Silver Spring Restaruant. Do you have a reservation here? Yes we do, Mac said. We set a reservation here for two of us, I said as I point fingers at my brother and myself. At 12:00pm. Yes, its almost noon. We reached at this area about a few minutes before our reservation. Hopefully, this lunch will take us an hour, not more than an hour. Let me see if you guys have a reservation, the male waiter said as he checks on his computer while standing. As he find it, he looked up at us. Yes, he said. Twelve oclock. Twelve o clock, I repeated as I made it clear.

Arlight, the male waiter takes two copies of the restaurant menu for us. Come with me, he said in a calm maner as we enter dinner area. He takes us a few steps forward to the table that was at the end of the pathway. It was behind the windows aside and the back. Here your table, he said as he put the two menus on each side of the table. He bows his hand to us as he let us sit on the table. Enjoy, he said. Thanks, my brother Mac said. Thanks, I said. Youre welcome, the male waiter walks off. We take a look at the menu. Usually I order a meal of roasted chicken with macaroni and photao. But this time Im ordering something different. I might to check in the burger section. I might have to order a roasted rib sandwich meal. Im not sure of what hes ordering, but Im pretty sure hes ordering a meal of baked chicken with mash photatos. What are your ordering Isbella? my brother Mac asked, without looking. I know I have to choose that roasted rib sandwhich meal or else Ill be wasting time and losing the patience for my paientis as they will get pissed as I didnt show up on time back at the doctors office. And I know that my brother wont be wasting his time back at his office at

the newspaper bureau. He has a story to cover. I think he already made an order. My brother looked up Mac. Still looking? he asked me. I looked up. Before I said anything, another male waiter shows up. But as I looked at him, his facesomehow lookedgeogrous. Hello, the male waiter said as he takes out a pen and notepad to write. He looked at both of us. Do you guys order anything yet? he asked. Ah yes, Mac said as he put the menu down. I want a meal of crispy chicken with vegetables and some gravy. Okay, the male waiter nodded as he writes the order down. He then looked at me. And what did you order? I didnt ask immediately. Yes I have an order. But his gorgeous face made me shy to say it. He also has goodlooking hair. You want me to take more time, the male waiter asking me an offer. No, I interrupt. I shook my head and took a deep breath letting myself calm down and looked back at him and act like normal. Im sorry, I added.

No thats okay, he said with a smile and a look back at his notepad. He then looked back at me. Do you made an order? Yes I want to try the roasted rib sandwich meal. With mash photates? Yes. The male writer writes my order down on his notepad. Okay, he said as he looked back at my brother. One crispy chicken meal with mash phatos and gravy, he said. Yes, my brother Mac said. Then the male waiter looked back at me. And one roasted rib sandwhich with mash potatoes, he said to me, making sure thats right. Thats correct, I said with a smile. Alright, the male waiter looks back at his notepad. Your food should be up in about an half-hour, okay. The male waiter was about to walk off. Hey, I shouted. He turns around and walked backed. Yes do you need anything else? No I, I looked at him as I was trying to come up with a statement. I want to know if hes already have a girlfriend. I have been in relationships before, none of them move into the marriage stage. My first exboyfriend, named Sam Eric, was first met in college.

Were going really welluntil I found out by my best friend Arianna that he has been cheating on me. As I result I kicked him out like a foul. I engaged with another relationship with Adam Lackie, since I was twenty-one. Hes a nice guy. The reason why we broke-up because the relationship isnt working. I have never had a real boyfriend for years, and thismale waiter, I believe, is the right one. The right one. Maybe, but I believe that this guymay be the right one. Need anything, the male waiter asked. I looked at him as if I was dreaming about something. Um, I began to talk. Whats your name? I asked. Oh well, he got off guard when I asked that question. My name is Felix, he said to me. Felix? Yeah. Well nice to meet you. He looked at the pathway and me back and forth as he has a job to do: passing out our orders. Um I gotta go, he said to me. Okay, Let me get you guys your orders okay, he said it with a smile on his face to the both of us. He then walks off.

Mac looked at me as if he thinks I found another perfect match. My brother already has a girlfriend and he doesnt want to ruin it for her. Hell try to make the best relationship ever. I dont think hes a cheater like my other ex-boyfriend and my brother doesnt want to be that either. I took a deep breath after Felix left. I know his goodlooking hair and dazing eyes capture me into another a relationship. This time, a potentatially good relationship. I think I might have that one this time. After we ate, me and my brother Mac went back to our jobs. Mac is already doing an interview with the customer who had a feud with the car dealer. I went back to work in the Doctors Community Hospital. Since Joan doesnt have any patients right now, I went into my sister Joans office to explain what happened at the restaurant. I told her everything about my new boyfriend, Felix Sandres and she was very interested. After Felix serves up the orders to me and Mac, I ask him information about himself. Felix Sandres is a 29-yearold man. He is single. He had girlfriends before, but he never got serious about marriage. He lived in an apartment alone with the stuff belong to the management who gives him the rent. He graduated from Western College with a Bachelors Degree in

management. He works at the Silver Spring Restaurant as a server for five years. He got paid much money than any other co-workers because he was working hard. He saw me as another potential girlfriend. I ask him the contact information so that we can communicate with each other. I even ask him for a date, to his surprise, and in response, to my surprise, he said yes. I walk down the hall in the Hospital hall with my sister Joan. We were talking about Felix. She thinks Im now in another relationship, which Im right now. So you have a date with Felix? Joan asked me. Yes, I said. When you gonna start dating with him? On Saturday. Saturday? she blocked me from walking. Saturday is the usually day when we all hangout with places. Me, Joan, my sister Cathy, and sometimes my brother Mac, hangout in my van. We get to watch movies in a movie theater. My favorite one is the comedy one. Because I set a date with my new boyfriend on that day, I might need to adjust the schedule. We have tickets for the concert on Sunday, so that might be okay. Joan was kinda shocked about the fact that Im dating on a day that we usually hangout, although she

might get the idea of hanging out with a date over the weekend. Are you crazy? she asked me. No Im not crazy. She put her right at her hip with a questionable look on her face. Okay maybe Im, I said. But Joan Im not gonna mess it up and he better not gonna mess it up either. Felix is a sweatheart. And I should be too. I walk off as she watched me in surprise. She then moved to Its Saturday. The sun is shining. Its day that people can enjoy their weekend, except for those who had to go to work such as the employees at the grocery store, the restaurant, shopping malls, among other things, except for my new boyfriend Felix, who I schedule him today. This morning, I woke in bed, still in the same pajamas from this week. Im gonna put them in the washing machine tonight after the date. I got up from the bed and take off my pajamas, revealing my underwear. I then put on some regular casual clothes and I looked at the glass window thats been below my draw. The weather outside is shining. It was the perfect day for a date. A perfect day to be hanging out a day. But I looked down at myself, as its also a day for my sisters to be hanging out

watching a movie. Its a romantic movie. Its called Romance on a Car. Even my brother Mac was interested in the movie. He obviously loves romantic movies, not because he has a girlfriend whos name is Jenny that loves them. Its because of the fact that he wasnt emotionally physicallike the ones in the superhero movies, a genre thats been usually attracting attention from a lot of boys. I come to believe already that Mac is not one of them. It sucks to have a date on a Saturday with my new boyfriend Felix the same day me and my siblings usually hangout together (well actually, my brother Mac, sometimes hangout with his girlfriend or his regular friends). But I had to schedule my date on that day because Felix was only available on Saturdays. He wasnt available on the rest of the week because he goes to work on Sundays through Fridays. Maybe, if Felix had a day off from the Silver Spring Restaurant where he work, or if theres a holiday, than I can have a date with him on a day other than Saturday. Maybe I can work this situation sorta out with Felix when I come near him. In the meantime, Im gonna talk about this situation too with my sisters who might be downstairs already. I dont know but I have to go downstairs to find out and stop talking to myself.

And as I headed downstairs, I didnt smell anything. And as I reached at the middle of the stairs, I also didnt hear a thing at all. I continue to walk downstairs until I finally came at the lower level. I looked around. Huh, I wondered. Its 8:00am. Joan and Cathy didnt get up like the used to, Monday through Friday. They still sleeping. Maybe they overslept, I guess. So I headed back upstairs to wake up my sisters. I went into Joans room first. Hey, I shouted. Joans eyes suddenly pop up. Time to wake up, I continued as I walked toward her, whos in her bed sleeping. Joan then yawned and get annoyed. It was obviously to me that she didnt like to hear me shouting wake up. It was obviously that she wants to be overslept on the weekend, although it was much after, or because of, her work in the same hospital that I also work. I dont know about my other sister, Cathy, who I know believed that she wants to be overslept too. Cathy wants to continue sleeping through the morning. Im guessing that shell wake up at 9:30am, but that really sucks because Im up and I want my sisters to get up and I know that my brother Mac always up in the early, though unlike myself, he doesnt want to wake his girlfriend Jenny unless he needs to.

Cmon Joan wake up, I continued shouting at her, whos still sleeping. She turn her head away from me. Cmon, I keep shouted. Wake up its eight oclock. She suddenly moans as she put her pillow on her head. Cmon, I keep shouted as bent over and touching her to get her butt out of her bed. But she didnt move. All she did so far was moving back and forth again. Her head was now away from me again. Cmon, I said. Then she put her pillow on top of her head. I stretched myself back. I sighed and flapped my hands. I put my hands on my hips looking away from my sister, wondering myself whats up with her. She was up in the morning, but early morning when she cooked breakfast for the week, which is something I think it was unusual. I looked back at her again. But before I started to wake her up again, Joan finally woke up, but in a nota-very-happy-mode. She slowly turn her face at me, knowing that I should not disturb her sleeping. Why are you shouting? she asked me. Because its eight oclock, I said. She then looked at the clock.

Its now eight o five, I continued. She looked back at me again. Yes I know, she said. Can we get some, I was going to say breakfast but she interrupted me. Listen, she take her feet off of her sheet and turned around to face me. You have a date. She has a serious look on her face. Right? Yeah but I was trying to explain what was going on but then she interrupting me again. I know my sisters dont wanna hang out with me because of a date with my new boyfriend Felix (oh my god, I say his name, like a thousand times now). Although they loved me having a new boyfriend, they just unhappy about that fact that me and him schedule on that day my and my sisters hang out. I tried to tell them the situation, but they completely ignored the fact that Felix had only Saturdays available. So go with your new boyfriend, Joan interrupt me. You know your boyfriend is waiting for you. Look its, I looked at my watch before I even looked back at her. Its twelve oclock me and Felix hang out together. She continued to have a glaze stare at me. We only have three hours to hangout together, I continued. Like what, she said.

Like we can go around the mallshopping. She continues to stare at me, indicating that she doesnt wanna go with me in just under three house. She, as well as Cathy and Mac, wants to hang out the whole day with me as usuall. They dont want to hangout with me in just so little time. They just obviously (except for Mac) want toI dont knowkick me out, since I have a date? Then even before I had enough time to wake my other sister, Cathy was areadly awake as she walked into Joans room. Um, she said. We looked at her. Whats going on? Cathy, I walked toward as I beigin talking. Can we have a talk? Then Joan got off up her bed and walked toward us. Cathy, she began to talk. I turn around and tried to calm Joan down. But like Joan, Cathy was feeling the same way. She folded her arms and looked at me. It seems like Isabella wanna grab our butts to hangout when she has a date on that day, Joan said to Cathy. Cathy nodded. I sighed again.

Sorry Isabella, Cathy said to me. You have a date, she walked past me and stand beside Joan. So hangout with your newest boyfriend, she continued as she folded her arms again. We would love to meet him, Joan added. But because its on the same day that we going to a movie, we would like to say Good luck, Cathy finish her sentence. Thank you Cathy, she looked at her. Youre welcome. I sighed one more time. Fine, I said with a disappointing look on my face. You guys go ahead without me. Then I looked at them. Can you guys still make breakfast? No, Joan said as she shake her head. You are. I got a suprising look when she said that. Okay, Joan said it like shes serious. I sighedagain. Alright Ill look some breakfast, I said. Well I tried. It seems that my sisters dont wanna let me talk, but I guess Ill talk to my brother Mac, whos in his house, later after I finish eating breakfast. Less than an hour later, I walked out and got into my fancy red car. Sure I already had a van, but that was for my sister Joan, who ride with me for most of the week when we go to work. Cathy have also had a car. The color

of it was blue. We usually hang out on that one on Saturdays. But not today, sort of. I then booted my red car up and unpark from our house. Im driving to Macs house. Im not sure if he and his girlfriend left their house. I dont know, he havent called me since less than a week ago. Probably Wednesday, since we last ate at a fast food restaurant. Hes busy at the Washington Post for the last two days, so I hangout with Joan at the hospital at lunch. Here I am, at Macs house. Mac and Jenny still had their cars out, indicating that the couple is still here. I parked on the right side of the road beside the yard. I got off my car and walked into the grass as Im reaching towards the door. When I reached, I rang the doorbell. Then, my brother Mac, whos inside the house, comes in and opens the door. He wears his regular casual clothering of a green t-shirt and short jeans with his brown sneakers on. Well hello sis, Mac said. Hey Mac, I said as I entered his house. He let me in. After that we talk as we walk slowly. Is there something you would like to talk about? he asked. I mean you would like to talk about the dating issue, he stopped and looked at me.

I took a deep breath. I know that my brother was a calm man. A calm sibling than Joan and Cathy. Hes the man who takes these situations to heart. Before I could say anything, he told me something that I wasnt aware of. I talk to Felix, he said, to my surpise. About what? I asked with a shock. About the situation that youre in. What does he say? Mac took a deep breath. Well Felix had already know that you usually go out on Saturday with us, which is today, he explain. Yeah, I said. And he understands that. Right. So he could make another plan to date with you so that you can hangout with your sisters, unless you dont want to. I slowly nodded. He roll his head from the ground to me. Well, he said. Sure you dont want to be spoiled? I mean theres a Wikipedia article on that movie. I shook my head. No thanks, I said. I would rather it on my spare time. Maybe Friday. He nodded his head after I said that. Im sorry about this.

No thats okay, he patted me on the back. It happens, he shrug his sholders and hands, indicating that Im not the only one. Its not just you. I hangout with my girlfriend a lot. In fact we actually lived here. I nodded again. Yeah I know that. I mean, Mac trying to explain. You could talk to your boyfriend. I know. I already work out a plan with my girlfriend. I can take my girlfriend and hangout with you guys. I had a thought for a moment. I could take my boyfriend with me. But this is a romantic releationship for me and Felix. I dont want Felix to feel bad. Sure Felix had friends, but he would rather wanna hangout with me instead. To be very honest, I said to Mac. Im not interest in taking my boyfriend out.

On a relationship day, I went into my boyfriend Felixs apartment. His apartment looked like a maze. It is an apartment complex with the apartment buildings in the center and the large parking lot around it. Sure there could be another building around here somewhere, but Im too busy paying attention to my GPS system, which

was installed into my car. The GPS system was installed in behind the car air AC. I looked at the traffic and the GPS system back and forth carefully when it comes to an incoming different direction. When I found Felixs apartment number, which was on the other side of the center, the parking lot was almost full. The only parking space available was all the back, beside the exit. So drive all the way to the only space available and parked there. I got off my car and then cross the road and into the grass and into the sidewalk. As I reached into Felixs apartment, which is the first one at the far left of the other side, I pull out my cell phone and started calling him to find out where he is. Because he only give me his apartment address, I dont know his apartment number. I stopped in front of the building, waiting for a call. Hello, Felix answered the phone. Yeah hi, I said. Who is this? Isabella Meganheimer. Remember? From the restaurant? He then remembered. Oh yes, he said with a chuckle. I do. Then he suddenly fell to a shock look. Wait youre here? he asked me. Yes. Do you remember? Twevelve Oclock. What? Is Felix kidding me? Wait he doesnt remember me coming into his apartment? Does he remember the

online conversation that we agreed on. So now all of a sudden, he doesnt remember that we have a date right now? Is he on something that is so busy that he had lost his memory over this? Anyway, I dont want to push myself into this. I dont want to turn this into a nightmare. All I want is to have a good relationship with Felix. If Felix is acting stupidormaybe hesnever mind. Oh yeah twelve oclock, Felix said. Right, I said with a nod. Im standing in front of the building because you only gave me an apartment address. Oh yeah right, he said with an embarrassment. Do you know what apartment number? Its, he lost it for a minute. Then, rather than tell her his apartment room number, he decided to walk out of his living room. You know what let me come through, he said as he exits his apartment. I suddenly see him at the first level to the apartment on the right, to my surprise. Wait, he didnt tell me his apartment number? He just decided to walk straight to me? And he didwith his cell phone on his ear. When he reached, it no longer makes sense to have a cell phone conversation when were actually can talk to each in person. As a result, we just hang up the phones. I looked at him, still in confusion. How cant he tell me his

number? I guess he would rather take me into his apartment, which is nice. I smiled. Well hello Felix, I said. Hello there Isabella, he said. Glad that you didnt tell me your apartment number. I still smiled. He took a deep breath on himself. He then looked back at me. Im, he said as he slowly shake his head. I struggled. I remembered the date, I just didnt realize that it is today. You didnt even realized that?

my boyfriend Felix shows me a diamond. I looked at him in surprise. Will you marry me? he asked. I looked at the diamond again. Its so sparkly. I looked at him once again. His face was so kinda. And I have a baby in a few weeks. So to us, it was definitely the right time. Yes, I said. I grab the diamond and put down on the table and hug him gently. But before we even celebrate or even talk about the wedding, I start to feel something that burst out of my
